My friends, have I got a show-stopper cake for you without a lot of hard work! Before your summer is complete, you’ve got to try this Salted Caramel Brownie Ice Cream Cake.

I am a huge fan of Lindt Chocolate Truffles. They are my number one request for my Christmas stocking and on Valentine’s Day. It totally dawned on me the other day that I needed to make a dessert with these babies. The fact that it took me this long is shocking.

So the other day, a Monday to be more precise, my kids and I needed to get out of the house. We were headed to a park. Well, this plan was not to be. As soon as we headed to Option #1, we realized it was closed on Monday. So we went to Option #2, and it was also closed too. By this point the kids were really getting antsy. I told them we could try one more park. In my head, I’m thinking, “Seriously people, why would you close all the darn parks on the same day!”

Before we headed to Option #3, we decided to stop by Dairy Queen and eat lunch. And in my family, when one goes to Dairy Queen, it is a given that one must also have an ice cream. Well I decided to give their Salted Caramel Truffle Blizzard a try, and holy cow, it was pure bliss on a spoon. The wheels in my head immediately started turning knowing that I had to recreate this one. And hence, this recipe for this Salted Caramel Brownie Ice Cream Cake was born.

Now to finish my little story, we did head out to Option #3. The gate was open. We all got unbuckled. We all got out of the car, and then the thunder sounded.

Back into the car we went, and we headed home. A day at the park was not meant to be for us.

But, it all worked out because this little dessert was born!

It is so easy too! I used a homemade brownie recipe made with sweetened condensed milk, but you could even use a package brownie mix. I baked it in a springform pan and let it cool. Next, I added salted caramel and chopped dark chocolate truffles. I then took an easy route and layered store-bought premium chocolate ice cream and whipped topping (Cool Whip). I let it freeze overnight. After I released it from the pan, I added yummy drizzles of chocolate syrup and salted caramel to finish it off.

Can’t get much easier y’all! The hardest thing about this cake is cutting it. You do need a little muscle because it has been frozen. I let mine sit out for about 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. I also sliced up all the leftovers before freezing them again, so I didn’t have to do that later.

I am a wife to an awesome husband, mother of four great kids, and a former middle school math teacher. I love collecting recipes and cookbooks! I have an obsession with food network and all things Paula Deen (love her)! Being able to share the things I make with others is so much fun for me. I have gotten so many cookbooks and torn so many recipes out of magazines! This is my way to really make use of them. I am starting this blog as a way to chronicle the recipes I’ve tried and pass them along. I hope everyone enjoys!!!

Oh my goodness that looks fantastic. Lindt truffles are the best, and now I can’t believe I’ve never thrown them into a dessert of some kind! And I feel your pain with the parks – such a disappointment when you try to bring the kids somewhere and it just doesn’t work out. We had that happen last year when we finally made it to a park a long ways off that they’d been wanting to go to – and it started pouring. We ended up having a picnic in the living room instead – oh well! Try again another day!

First off, caramel anything is amazing! Secondly, I love Lindt Lindor Chocolate! My neighbour actually got me a ton of their chocolate at 50 cents a box from her store because they were close to expiry (how is that even possible?!)

Salted caramel gets me every single time! We stopped at Dairy Queen recently and I had to try that blizzard too! So yummy! Although I have to admit your brownie ice cream cake looks tons better. I mean brownie crust and salted caramel…no brainer there! Love it!

Have you ever made this with vanilla ice cream instead of chocolate? I’m thinking about making this for my fiance’s birthday, and his favorite dessert is a brownie with Blue Bell vanilla ice cream. I’m afraid the chocolate might be too much for his taste (not mine) , but since it is his birthday I will think of him 😉
